1/48th scale B-58 finished a while back

It's the Monogram kit with resin engine updates. The finish is FUTURE mixed with aluminum powder.
Makes for a tough, shiny finish!

Enjoy

Re: 1/48th scale B-58 - tinting colors....

Thanks for the kind words!

I mixed up various versions of the FUTURE/AL. Powder mix with drops of liquid acrylic to tint the color.
The trick is to always keep the paint mixed well. If a color ends up too dark, you can re-buff the panel with the powder to make it more polished and lighter.
